The length of a cigarette
how long does it take to smoke a cigarette? by some counts, five minutes. but, by other, otherworldy counts, in those countable inhales and exhales lie embedded entire universes, parallel dimensions that contain within them endless eons of creation and extinction, birth and apocalypse, everything that was ever known and everything more that never will. wherein lies the portal to this place, where knowledge is but a fabric to digest and wisdom is but a gelatenous blob within which consciousness lies. i want in, desperately, but between here and there are sky high walls of human desire, mechanical byproducts of a wasteful existence. each passing second, each bygone exhale take with it precious bits of time that will never again shower upon me the glimmers of hope. the cigarette is done and once again i am sucked into the whirlwind. please forgive this temporary intrusion, this cold fluorescence. this bold suggestion. its time for you to lead me home.

what are you saying my good man?
i'm curious... what would your interpretation be in this particular context?
i wrote a really, really lengthy sarcastic exploration of the cosmos and its meanings a few weeks back in response to this. but i changed my mind and now i just want to submit this cool link:

it's a japanese SAQ - seldom asked questions (such as the misconception of the duration of japanese pregnancy [it's 9 months after all])
peace and love
